Among the most common aesthetic problems that we have to face, we undoubtedly find blackheads. They mainly form on the forehead, nose and chin and can be difficult to remove.
These are dead cells that mix with facial sebum and oxidize, taking on a dark color. Although many think that blackheads are directly associated with acne, they form because of oily skin.
Below we list 5 effective remedies to remove blackheads at home and without resorting to expensive treatments.
- Facial cleansing. Adopting a facial cleansing routine is essential to prevent the formation of blackheads. Excessive sweating and overuse of cosmetic products can encourage the appearance of blackheads.
- Steam . The best time to remove blackheads is after taking a steam bath. Bring a liter of water to the boil with a little chamomile and rosemary, then expose your face to the steam, being careful not to burn yourself. To remove blackheads, apply light pressure. Repeat three times a week.
- Tomato . Cut a tomato in half and rub it on the blackheads to get rid of the impurities. Leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Clay . Clay-based facial masks remove impurities, purify pores and prevent the appearance of blackheads.
- Prevention. Keep pores clean and “close” them with astringent toners or cold water rinses.
